Crunchy chickpeas

I made crunchy turmeric chickpeas today. I'd tried crunchy chickpeas bought from the store and didn't like them, but they seem popular so I thought I'd try making my own and see if they were tastier.

They are!

I used organic chickpeas, rinsed them well and then blotted them dry using kitchen paper. I took the skins off the chickpeas. I think is probably optional, if you can't be bothered, but it didn't take too long.

Then I sprinkled them with some ginger lemon salt and turmeric. Mixed them up to coat them, and then put them in the top of the aga for about 35 minutes. This is equivalent to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C.

They came out nice and crunchy and next time I'll be a little more generous with the seasoning - so you can liberally season!

Have you tried them? They are nice as an easy snack, or sprinkle them on your salad....
